QUEEN LYDIA LILIUOKALANI

(September 2, 1838 - November 11, 1917)

Queen Liliuokalani was the last reigning monarch of the Hawaiian islands. She felt her mission was to preserve the islands for their native residents. In 1898, Hawaii was annexed to the United States and Queen Liliuokalani was forced to give up her throne.

Queen Liliuokalani was deposed by the advocates of a Republic for Hawaii in 1893. She was born in Honolulu to high chief Kapaakea and the chiefess Keohokalole, the third of ten children. Her brother was King Kalakaua. Liliuokalani was adopted at birth by Abner Paki and his wife Konia. At age 4, her adoptive parents enrolled her in the Royal School. There she became fluent in English and influenced by Congregational missionaries. She also became part of the royal circle attending Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma.

Princess Victoria Kaiulani was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on October 16, 1875. Her full name was Victoria Kawekiu Lunaliko Kalaninuiahilapalapa Kaiulani Cleghorn. Her Uncle David Kalakaua became king of Hawaii the year before she was born, and she was second in line for his thrown, after her elderly aunt Lydia Liliuokalani. Princess Kaiulani was the first "hapa haole" (half caucasian) direct heir to the Hawaiian thrown because her mother was Hawaiian and her father was Scottish.

To enhance the prestige of Hawai`i overseas and to mark her status as a modern nation, the Hawaiian government appropriated funds to build a modern palace. The cornerstone for `Iolani Palace was laid on December 31, 1879 with full Masonic rites. The new `Iolani Palace was outfitted with the most up-to-date amenities, including indoor plumbing. Gas chandeliers installed when the Palace was first built were replaced by electric lighting five years later (less than seven years after Edison invented the first practical incandescent bulb). The King also installed a modern communications system that included the recently invented telephone.
